Mask of Rebirth

The void lightness skill is very good, it only takes half a stick of incense to go back and forth, and it didn't alarm anyone.

It's just that when he came back, his face was really not very good-looking, and he seemed to be a little panicked.

"What happened?"

"This is a big deal." Kong Kong sighed and didn't know what to do.

"The sky is falling and there is a tall man holding it up. What are you afraid of? Tell me quickly, what happened?"

"I just said why does that person look familiar, hey, I'm so stupid, why didn't I expect it to be him." Kong Kong scratched his head irritably, "What should I do?"

Could it really be him? "Is it Qin Mu?"

Kong Kong was really surprised, took a look at him, and sighed after a long time, "Did you see it long ago, that's why you kept silent?"

"It's just a guess... Shouldn't he go to the temple? How did he come here?"

"Your bones are here, have you forgotten?" Kong Kong glanced over there, and said again: "He is here to worship you."

Wei Ziyang tried his best not to change his face, and calmly put the scroll in his hand aside. "...I'll take it as a big deal, as for what you're making a fuss about."

"Guess who else I saw?"

Wei Ziyang froze, and asked in disbelief, "Didn't he bring only two people with him? They were all secret guards."

"And Lu Yang!"

Lu Yang?Wei Ziyang tried his best to hold his breath, and asked after a long time, "What is he doing here?"

"I guess they came to see you too. Tomorrow is your memorial day!"

My birthday!It's really ridiculous, everyone is dead, what's the use of you still engaging in these scenes, do you really think that the dead will have spirits in the sky? "They can worship if they like, it has nothing to do with me. Let's find a secret place to spend the night first, and we will go there after they go down the mountain."

"If only things were that simple... There was a heavy rain last night, which just washed your grave away."

Needless to say the rest!The coffin is empty, and it is estimated that they have found it by this time.This secret has been concealed for six years, but now it can no longer be concealed, God really likes to joke!

Wei Ziyang raised his hand to cover his forehead, feeling very upset.Thinking left and right to comfort myself, there should be nothing wrong, right?Just think it was dug up by the tomb robbers, or it's just old and rotten.Everything is fine, you won't really guess that you are simply feigning death, right?

"They have discovered that the coffin is empty, what do you think they will do next?"

"......I have no idea."

"The first thing they suspect must be Jinchan Temple! I advise you, don't go back to the mountain for now."

Of course, I won't go back and throw myself into the trap now.It's too late to hide! "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time! Let's go quickly."

"Okay!" Kong Kong also had the same intention, and he didn't dare to raise his horsewhip, yelling in a low voice, hurried the carriage into the woods, and found a very difficult path to walk. "what's your plan?"

Wei Ziyang thought over and over again, and decided decisively, "We will go separately when we arrive in Lu Country."

"Aren't you going to Anren Temple?"

Wei Ziyang nodded, "I can't go."

"Where are you going then?"

"I have my own arrangements."

"At least tell me a general location, otherwise how can I contact you in case something happens?"

"You still don't know, don't worry, I will contact you when everything is peaceful."

Kong Kong shook his head helplessly, "Why do you feel like a thief? It's obvious that they have done something wrong, so why do you want you to hide here?"

makes sense!Do you really want to hide forever?In fact, they shouldn't be so terrific, right?After all, it has been six years, and they should be very clear. Since I am still alive and have not troubled them, I should know that I don't want to take revenge on them anymore, so there is no need to kill them all!

It was really not easy to avoid those people. Although Qin Mu only brought three people with him, there were already officers and soldiers stationed on the mountain.Lu Yang also brought nearly a hundred guards with him.However, the two parties gathered together at this time, and the guards lit torches and stood guard in a circle from a distance. If they walked around the forest and acted carefully, they would not attract attention.

But this journey is also frightening, and the wheels will break a branch, which will make people nervous for a long time.

It wasn't until dawn that the carriage went down the mountain without any danger.Wei Ziyang was afraid of hurting him, so he didn't dare to go with him any longer, so he found a small village and bought a horse before leaving him.

Everything was expected by the two of them. Within a few days, rumors spread from the mouths of some people in the world that Jinchan Temple had been completely sealed off.Looking at that posture, it seems to be catching some fugitives again. The whole mountain was almost three feet dug, and even the karst cave in the back mountain was not spared.

In fact, these rumors are relatively light. When Qin Mu found out that the coffin was empty, he was the first to think that it was Lu Yang's hands and feet. By coincidence, Lu Yang also rushed to Yufeng Mountain that day, and the two confronted each other. Finally, it was agreed with the accusation that Wei Ziyang's fake death is very likely, not to mention that this kind of thing has not happened before.

That night, Qin Mu sent a letter to Xue Tian with a pigeon, ordering him to send heavy troops to surround the Jinchan Temple and not allow anyone to enter or leave.

On the other hand, he immediately set off for Jinchan Temple, expressly to fast and pay homage to the Buddha, but secretly to find out the whereabouts of Wei Ziyang.

When the pilgrimage king was aroused by the fury of thunder, all the hundreds of disciples of Jinchan Temple, including the eighteen generations of their ancestors, were investigated without exception.They carried out several times of carpet-like searches up and down the mountain, but they couldn't find any clues that Wei Ziyang was hiding here.

But Qin Mu just doesn't believe in evil, and he is more willing to believe in his intuition than the many evidences in front of him.Wei Ziyang must have been here for at least a few months.

Master Zhiming didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and sat in the meditation room calmly and played chess alone. He was indifferent even when officers and soldiers searched around him. Sometimes he didn't know what to say and smiled, as if he saw something from the chess game. Another world.

"Master, are you still unwilling to tell me the truth?"

Master Zhiming patted the bearded old monk and sat down, the ancient well was calm, with the appearance of a worldly expert, and Qin Mu was furious to death.

Qin Mu couldn't get angry with him either, so he secretly took a few deep breaths to suppress his anger, and turned his gaze to the chessboard below.Looking carefully, this chess game is so strange, it is obviously a game of Go, but the way it is played is very different, very strange.

After reading it twice carefully, I immediately understood the chess moves. Although it is simple and easy to understand, it is also interesting and fascinating.

"I don't know what chess game the master is playing?"

"This game is called Gobang. According to legend, it originated in the period of Emperor Yao, but it was gradually lost."

"Oh, then I really want to see and see."

"It turns out that the emperor also likes to play chess. Come on, let's play a few games with the poor monk."

Qin Mu was extremely clever, he only lost two games at the beginning and he understood the rules thoroughly, and he was able to draw with Master Zhi Ming after that.

After ten games, Qin Mu dropped a black piece that was defeated, and said in a low voice: "I lost this game again, the master is very skilled in chess, and I am willing to bow down. However, the master just said that the backgammon has long been lost, and I don't know who the master got it from What did you learn?"

Seeing that he just smiled and said nothing, Qin Mu became more certain about his guess, "There is also the waterwheel at the back of the mountain, which is strangely shaped and ingeniously crafted. I don't know who made it?"

"Come here, it's still early, let's play another game."

"That's fine, but if I can win this round within twenty pieces, master tell me how?"

The old man was just playing with Xing Xing, how could he not, and even if he fully agreed.

Qin Mu sneered inwardly, took his time and counted a word.

His chess skills are rare in the world. At the beginning, Wei Ziyang would definitely lose every time he played chess with him, but later he simply stopped playing with him.Master Zhiming didn't know that he had already understood the mystery, and the next few rounds were all deliberately lost to him.

At this time, the bet was set and the real skills were revealed, no more, no less, exactly twenty pieces, Qin Mu Baizi settled and won the game.

"Master, are you willing to tell the truth?"

"That's all, I'm willing to bet and admit defeat. Since the emperor wants to know, I will tell you. To tell you the truth, the waterwheel was made by my incompetent apprentice."

"But Wei Ziyang?"

"Exactly!"

Qin Mu's heart trembled, and he asked eagerly, "Where is he now?"

"Well!" The old man made a fool of himself, if the emperor can win another game, I will tell you. "

"You...!" How bold!He endured the latter half of the sentence, secretly telling himself not to get angry, not to get angry, absolutely not to get angry just to see Wei Ziyang. "Okay, I will play another game with you, so that you will be convinced to lose."

Qin Mu hastily put away the chess pieces, picked up one and was about to drop it, but saw the nasty old man take out a wooden board with engraved patterns from somewhere and put it on the chessboard, and brought out two boxes of wooden chess pieces with weird shapes, "The backgammon old man is willing to bow down, this game is checkers!"

This damn old man dares to play dirty with me!How unreasonable!

In the end, it was obviously just a matter of one sentence, but the old man insisted on dragging it into the middle of the night, and he didn't let go until the loser was convinced.

He smiled and led Qin Mu to the Zhonglie Hall in the backyard.

"What did you bring me here for?"

"Didn't the emperor want to see Wei Ziyang?" Master Zhiming pointed to the stone statue with a red cape over one foot high and said, "This is my apprentice!"

Qin Mu's eyes darkened, and he almost recited it in one breath.Gritting his teeth angrily, he said, "Do you know what crime it is to play with the king!"

The old man put his hands together in front of his chest, "everything I said is true and there is no lie. My disciple has been like this since six years ago. As for the wonderful things that the emperor saw, they are all mine. Disciple left behind seven years ago."

Qin Mu's anger was stuck in his chest, he said good words three times, and walked away!

Out of the Zhonglie Hall, I ran into Xue Tian who was talking back and forth. Seeing the anger on Qin Mu's face, he returned in a low voice cautiously, "My Majesty, all 76 people from Jinchan Temple have been cross-examined, and there is no one. Suspicious people, everyone also said that they have never seen Wei Shenling."

"Is it all?"

"Yes!"

Qin Mu looked back at the stone statue standing in the Hall of Loyalty, suddenly remembered something, and sneered, "No, there are two more people!"
